Is this possible on a HX Stomp?

Lewy

So I have a few things set up on an Expression pedal so that when heel is down things are clean and there's some delay and modulation and when toe is down the mod is out, the reverb is lower and gain is high. What I'd love is to be able to have an OD kick in just for the last 30% or so of the the pedal's travel, but also for it to blend in across that travel rather than just kicking in at full tilt when the pedal goes past 70% (I know how to do that using pedal position for bypass).

So I guess the question is whether there is a way to blend something in from 0-100% on the last 30% of the pedal's travel.

I suspect not, but thought I'd check!

The HXOne definitely has adjustable curves for the flux function, so it might be possible. I haven’t used an expression pedal with the Stomp so not certain on that though

 Maybe with a Midi expression pedal?
like the Source Audio Reflex, if you can find one.

I'm pretty sure it is possible. I had a spring return wah set so if was off if the travel was <5%. 

you would need to set the "bypass" of the OD pedal to be off <70% , on >70%. 
Think I did it using the learn controller function, then setting the level. 

not sure if you'd then be able to go from 0-100% on the pedal gain (for example). Think you'd need to compromise on the start and end point of the OD blend

Yes that's how I've got it now - the OD kicks in at >70% and then I have the level of the drive increasing over the last 30%. As you say, it's a bit of a compromise because it leaves you with a limited range for the OD. It's fine, I can make it work, the main thing is you can't hear a specific jump when the drive kicks in which is the main thing I wanted. My mate's AxeFX lets you draw the shape of the curves so I was curious to see if that happened in Helix ecosystem too but looks like it doesn't. Fair enough, it's a fraction of the price!

I've got one of those!

I remember you saying.

I almost bought one and then realised I just wouldn’t use it enough. So I didn’t.
